Emails with MS word attachments not arriving, but Pages attachments okay

When I send an email with a Word attachment that was originally created in MS Word (v 11.3.5), the email does not arrive at its destination. I've started bcc'g myself to doublecheck and it seems consistent, no matter where it is going. It shows up as "Sent" in the mailbox, but the recipient never receives it.
However, when I create the document in Pages, then convert it to a Word document using "Export" in Pages, then attach it to an email, the email goes through without a problem.
Just now, I created the document in Pages, converted it using "Export", then edited it a bit while it was in Word. When I sent the email as an attachment, it disappeared again and did not arrive at its destination. This is really scary, because I have frequently sent people emails and assume that they are arriving (the email shows up in my "Sent" mailbox, but just disappears into cyberspace somewhere.)
Is this a glitch with Word or Mail? It started happening about 4 months ago, and I have already tried re-installing Word. That seemed to fix it for awhile but it's just happened again.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

For gigabyte-class file transfers, you'll really want to use a different path — that message size is easily approaching a denial-of-service scale message size, if not exceeded it.
If you really want to try doing attachments of that size and all the intervening SMTP servers support it, then try setting the message size manually via something like the (untested) following commands:
sudo postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix message_size_limit -e "message_size_limit = 10485760"
sudo postfix reload
Or to whatever specific attachment size you want to try to use. The unit is in bytes.
The other Postfix setting that tends to get involved here is mailbox_size_limit, as well as whatever quotes might be in use for the specific users.

You will need to talk to Apple, they would be the only ones who can tell you. We are just a user to user forum here.

Emails with large attachments not arriving

We have an open limit on email size but consistently emails with large attachments do not arrive at the destination (even to the same domain). They do go into the clients sent box. Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot? thanks

Attachments not arriving for Cox user

My wife's sister uses Cox as her ISP. We use Comcast.
My wife has been trying to send her sister some pictures of the kids. Her sister receives the email with text, however, no attachments.
As a test, my wife sent the same email to her sister and copied me at work. I use MS Outlook on an Exchange server using Windows XP Pro. I receive the email & attachments just fine. So obviously the attachments are leaving the computer ok. Her sister still can not receive them.
As another test, I reply to the email my wife sent and include her sister in the message. She receives my reply as well as the attached images.
I am convinced that Cox is stripping the attachments from my wife's emails but I can't explain why her attachments don't go through yet mine from work do. It's the same email with the same attachments. Of course, my wife's emails are coming from Comcast and mine from my work's SMTP.
The email size is under the limits by Cox. My wife has always sent pictures to her in the past. It seems this problem started when we bought our iMac.
She even tried sending the pictures using "Windows Friendly Format" but it still didn't work.
Any ideas on what's happening and if there's actually anything we can do about it? Or is this a Comcast/Cox thing?

In the multiple emails my wife tried to send to her, she tried two different methods.
1. Within iPhoto, choosing the pictures she wants to send and then clicking the Email button to create a new Mail message with the pictures attached.
2. In Mail, creating a new message and then manually attaching the pictures through the Finder. iPhoto is not even involved.
Neither method worked for her sister. Both methods worked for me at work.
If you like, we can arrange for a series of tests so we can try and identify what the problems are and document them for everyone's benefit. Hopefully it will help insight some fixes from Apple.

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving and reading is not a problem. When I create a email with mail.ru its not possible to send it although its stored in my mail.ru account as "still to be send". What can it be??

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving is not a problem. Creating a mail is also not a problem and the mail will be stored at mail.ru as still to be send, only problem is its not possible to send. I noticed the buttons for sending change colour when used but they don't perform. What it is?

Don't know what changed, but all of a sudden able to send emails by mail.ru ...... sorry for bothering.

Verizon blocking emails with the word Singapore

Really annoying - within the past week, any email I try to send with the word Singapore in the subject, sometimes in the message, is being blocked by the Verizon outgoing mail server as spam. You'd think they would check the number of "to" addresses when trying to control spam. If I am emailing only one or two people, how can it be spam? I keep forwarding the emails to their spam reporting address, but so far no action.
Verizon is also blocking emails coming to me with a .asia address - they don't even make it into my spam folder on Outlook.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah, the spam filter was updated recently.
I would suggest taking a stroll over to http://www.verizon.net/spamfaq and read that.
Also, if you are still having problems with sending an email which you think doesn't deserve to be blocked, which in your case shouldn't, shoot an email to: [email protected] . This goes to a third-party group who verifies if said email is spam and can help remove it once they investigate. They will notify Verizon and that everything checks out and it, in turn, prompts Verizon to flip a switch so your email can get through without a problem.
As far as emails being sent to you being blocked, you could always goto www.verizon.net/whitelist -- there you can request to allow emails to be sent through.
Hopefully those avenues will work out for ya.

Emails sent using YMLP do not arrive

An organisation to which I belong sends out NewsLetters that are compiled and sent using the app YMLP.
My name and email address is clearly shown on their database and I am told that NewsLetters have been sent to me - but they do not arrive.
I have criticised the YMLP app for not operating correctly but they say that my email browser - Mail - is at fault.
Could my ISP be blocking certain traffic? Or could there be a preference in Mail that is not correctly set?
I am running Yosemite on my iMac and Mail is 8.1

Joelrsny had the much easier fix:
For Sent folder not showing on the iPhone.
ALL of these ways work to add a Gmail account to the iPhone. Its not how you add it, its the settings in Gmail causing these folders not to appear.
Do not add the account to the iPhone first. Go to Gmail.com in a browser, log in to your email account and hit settings at the top right.... Select the Labels Tab at the top. On the right, you will see check boxes. Check all the folders you want to appear in imap accounts. Once you check them, go and add the account by just picking add Gmail account on your iphone settings for mail. ALL the folders you checked will appear...
Done!

IOS7- Emails with heavy images do not load

This has happened a lot lately. I'll get a newsletter email with lots of images, or just large images and they will not load. The spinning icon indicating data is coming will animate for a few seconds and then stop. I end up with a blank email.
Clicking FORWARD will display the email contents.

Thanks. I had the setting set already. I don't get the partially downloaded message when this happens, I get nothing. Or in the most recent case, only the background image of the email loaded, not html text or images loaded. Just a blank email except for the background and there is no way to get it to load. If I forward the email, it displays immediatly. So this is like a rendering or display issue possibly related that may or may not be related to network. I get other emails with images so I don't believe it to be slow connection and the images will display when I click forward.
This has only happened to a handful of emails, so it's random at this point.

"Charging with this accessory is not supported" But it's my iPhone charger?

When I try to connect my phone to the iPhone charger in the wall socket, and also the USB cable to my iMac it say's "Charging with this accessory is not supported".
What's the deal?
Also when I make calls, I get a freaky alien noise nearly everytime. I can hang up and recall the number and it will work fine, but almost every first call is like this, and no doubt I'm getting charged for it too.
Any help appreciated.

I had a Belkin charger and cord for the iPod Touch 3G because Apple failed to include a necessary AC adapter to charge one of their products, which I thought was cheap being that it is a 300+ device. Anyways, when I plugged my new iPhone 4 in, I could not turn on the sound and it didn't have any sound. When I used the cable that came with the iPhone, I was able to get my sound back. The problem is with the cord. If it is not completely compatible with Apple then you will not be able to charge the iPhone.

How do I save emails with graphics into documents appear as broken page tried saving as html and all files

I am using Windows 7, and ISP provider is AOL 9.5 dialup.
When I attempt to save emails with graphics to My Documents,
any graphics, usually in body of email as a bitmap or jpeg file, when I reopen email from My Documents, the graphics appear blank, as if a broken/torn page. Is there some settings I need to adjust on Firefox to be able to save complete files.

I'm not a Mac user, that's my caveat, however there is a button on the ribbon for SharePoint Document Libraries on the Library Tab called Connect To Office.
If that works with Office 2011 you'll start seeing your SharePoint site as a place where you can store documents in Office.
Otherwise, you need to click "New" in teh library itself and have SharePoint open Office for you.

Outlook13 with 8.1 will not send but will receive email

I can receive messages but get an error when trying to send email... I have a private domain email (not gmail, yahoo, etc.).. server is network solutions....
they wanted me to pay for tech support , so did microsoft... there has to be an easy fix... My old xp computer with outlook works fine with the same settings...

Hi,
In order to resolve the issue more efficiently, I'd like to collecting the following information:
What error message did you get when sending email?
Do you have a webpage interface? Can you send email from there?
When did this issue happen? Does your email account ever work when configured in Outlook 2013?
How did you set your email account in Outlook? Via POP3, IMAP or others? You should contact your provider and make sure you have enter correctly in the "Outgoing server (SMTP)" field.
Regards,
Steve Fan

I opened an email with a zip file with virus, it could not unzipped but is my lap top infected?

is true an apple lap top can't get virus?

It can get a virus if there were one designed for OS X. However, a Windows virus cannot affect it. Never open files sent by email unless you know the source.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
For adware removal see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:

OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
